The Thousandth Man: A Biography of James McGregor Stewart

Stewart (1889-1955) was arguably the most important Canadian corporate lawyer of his time. He was also an appellate counsel, venture capitalist, Conservative Party fundraiser, bibliographer of Rudyard Kipling, and a teacher of the classics. Thematic rather than chronological in approach, this biography details Stewart's career, evaluates it in its historical context, and offers an interpretation of its significance today. Annotation c.
